“The person who clicked this video knew which one they preferred before watching the video”. This is so true!! Haha

The answer: If you are an Apple customer, stay with Apple. If you are a Samsung customer, stay with Samsung (or Android). If you are starting anew, stop by a big box store and pick the phones up and see which suits you.

You forgot to comment on the anti reflective coating. It's a game changer, if you use your phone outside.

[ChristopherKoumas]

Back gestures either side of screen on Android is the main reason i wont switch, its such an inconvenience to not have this basic feature.

[robsawalker]

Buying either of these, or the Pixel 9 Pro XL, you will be really happy. The differences are now minuscule and pretty meaningless.

[danhustwick]

Much prefer one UI, love foldables, the Samsung ecosystem is good, and I use Windows so things like quick share are great. There are some things I like about apple and appreciate why people like them, but for me Samsung phones have always suited me more.

As a side I use my laptop to play games. If Macs could actually one day game well I would love to get one. Maybe that would start a slippery ecosystem slope. But only if Apple had a fold...

[craigosullivan]

I’ve recently dumped Apple because I’m sick and tired of that hideous notch

[IronsWHU]

The reason the screen looks better on the Samsung is the anti reflective glass. To replicate this on the iPhone I recommend getting a flolab screen protector.

[adangelboy]

Anti reflective coating on S24 Ultra is fantastic.

[carlwillows]

The rounded corners, the notch in the screen, and the raised clear square around the cameras are not good design imo

[seanarmstrong]

Living in China, I prefer Apple. I was just adding a lengthy comment about Android in China and YouTube just crashed. 😢 I prefer the Apple ecosystem, hands down

[Invid]

There are some nice handsets out there for Android but I'm stuck on the iPhone because I prefer iOS. I also make heavy use of shortcuts scripting so even if I preferred Android I'd be giving up a lot of functionality to use it. Fortunately I love iPhone hardware so it works out, at least for me.

[KevinFuggi]

I have 15 Pro and the S24 Ultra, the Ultra is a much better device overall. It does way more, including those awesome green text message bubbles.

[The.JZA.]

For people that want to make films etc then 8K might be useful but realistically the Pro Res and LOG 4K on the iPhone is still more useful than basic 8K. Also for the average joe, we are better served with 1080P since it takes up WAY less space on our phones and cloud storage and the quality is plenty good enough. I have 1080P60 set as my default and I only ever switch to 4K if it is something really special.

[SiEffen]

Two very competent phones, similar pricing, similar specs. If you prefer Android or Apple (or in one ecosystem or the other), that's the decision made for you.

[geraxho]

I use the iphone as a work phone and android as personal. The flow with ios ecosystem is regularly flawless, the samsung is better for content consumption.

[alifasraf]

I don't know why but i feel iphone 16pm much more robust and premium feel when in hand compare to s24u

[KevinFuggi]

Samsung has all the smart appliances and a much larger ecosystem...

[stevenlowe]

I couldn't return to iPhone. Poor compared to my s24u.

[yannl.]

Certainly both great products but I stay on Apple because of the software and whole ecosystem.
